Question 365082: I am struggling with a distance formula problem that has radicands in the points. I am ok with doing the distance formula d=square root of (x2-x1)sq +(y2-y1)sq.
the points I am trying to find the distance between are:
(4 square root of 2, 3 square root of 5) and (-2 square root of 2, 5 square root of 5)

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(4 square root of 2, 3 square root of 5) and (-2 square root of 2, 5 square root of 5)
--------------
(4*sqrt(2),3*sqrt(5)) and (-2*sqrt(2),5*sqrt(5))
diffy = 2sqrt(5)
diffx = 6sqrt(2)
d+=+sqrt%28diffy%5E2+%2B+diffx%5E2%29+=+sqrt%2820+%2B+72%29
d = sqrt(92)
d =~ 9.59
